I work in a windows environment.(xp) I usually use scilab on a linux computer, with display set to the windows box via the cygwin xserver. I have used this configuration happily with scilab 4.0. Never an issue.
Open a cygwin xterminal on the xp box log into linux box with ssh -Y in that xterminal type "scilab" into the xterminal All works well. The linux box runs an old version of mandrake uname -a Linux dataserver.energetiq.com 2.6.11-6mdk #1 Tue Mar 22 16:04:32 CET 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz unknown GNU/Linux I have used this scheme for years, running "production" code for data analysis. Recently I decided to upgrade the linux machine to a more modern distribution -- Mint Debian. $ uname -a Linux dataserver1 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:19:42 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux I installed scilab 5.x - to get access to some of the newer atoms toolboxes. I should say this is the debian scilab installed via apt-get. $ scilab -version Scilab version "5.4.1.1364571296" scilab-5.4.1 Now, if I start up scilab, the fancy new console comes up and works until I plot once. Or do anything to bring up a plot window. (eg, demo After that I can no longer type into the console. cut/paste with the mouse works; but keyboard is dead, when typing into the scilab window. Works fine on all other xterms. What can I do to fix this? Thanks, Steve
